A 240 shame.
 
1 Attachment(s)
So, I got hit in my 240sx. Bad enough. Liability Insurance wont cover a driver at fault. Worse. I live in the midwest....kill me now. Anyway Im just curious what some of you would do with this car now. I want to move to dallas, away from the snow and corrupt gov't here in illinois. Fix to sell? Fix to keep? Sell as is and just move on? Part out? these are some choices Ive considered. :wtc:
It needs a few things to drive again, although the fender is pretty far gone. It will drive again with replacement parts. I dont have the money to fix and there is a lot of stress associated with this project. The aftermarket parts that are on it will net me a few dollars and a few other parts could also be sold. the engine and trans are good. A new clutch has been installed recently. The tires are NEW and I barely got to use them. Im pretty depressed about this, i miss this car....
Advice is what im looking for here so someone, anyone help me decide. thanks for reading my sob story. :facepalm:

Does it still run? If its all body work than you can get some cheap fenders and bumper, thats if the frame is straight.

if the frame isnt bent to crap,keep it,fix it and never crash again

It still runs and i think the frame may be bent some. Such a disappointment.

buy a shell and swap the motor :2f2f:

Finding a 240 shell in Peoria illinois is very rare.

Check Chicago and St Louis craigslist, you'd be surprised at what all you'd find.

how about, go tube frame? dedicated race car?

You can fix that. I messed up my car pretty bad, I cut another rad support off another junk s13 and got it welded onto my car and banged out the quarterpanel. Thats def fixable, I dont think the frame could have gotten too bent.

buy a civic ?

judging by the fact that you cant even make this decision for yourself. and have no clue if the frame is bent, you should fit in just great with the honda scene

clif notes= sell it
